Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI (cross-platform) and PowerShell examples for creating VMs from generalized images in a gallery. However, the PowerShell examples are heavily Windows-centric, with parameters and configuration steps (e.g., Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Windows) defaulting to Windows VM creation. There are no equivalent PowerShell examples for Linux VM creation, and the full parameter set for PowerShell only demonstrates Windows VM configuration. Additionally, in PowerShell examples, Windows VM creation is shown first and exclusively, while Linux VM creation is only covered in CLI and REST examples.
Recommendations
- Add PowerShell examples for creating Linux VMs from generalized images, including the use of Set-AzVMOperatingSystem -Linux and SSH key configuration.
- In PowerShell sections, clarify how to adapt the examples for Linux VMs, including differences in credential handling and network security rules (e.g., SSH port 22 instead of RDP port 3389).
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux VM creation are equally represented in all code samples and explanations, especially in PowerShell sections.
- Consider presenting Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or clearly labeling them to improve parity and reduce friction for Linux users.
